                           HON. LARRY COMBEST

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 20, 1997

  Mr. COMBEST. Mr. Speaker, I rise today with great honor to give 
tribute to the West Texas A&M Lady Buffs of Canyon, TX. The Lady Buffs' 
historic winning season ended with an unfortunate, but hard-fought loss 
in the quarterfinals of the Elite Eight Tournament to California-Davis.
  The Lady Buffs, who are led by their coach Bob Schneider, finished 
the season with 29 victories and only 2 losses. This is the best season 
that the Lady Buffs have had since the 1990-91 team, and the first time 
that the Lady Buffs have been in the Elite Eight since the 1987-88 
season. As an alumnus of West Texas A&M, I am very proud of the Lady 
Buffs and their achievement this season.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate the Lady Buffs on their winning season. 
They have brought pride and respect to not only their team and coaches, 
but also to West Texas and the hometowns of all of the players.
